OK thanks.
I updated to 3.04 (but so far I stayed on android 4.3) and unfortunately still have the same problems with the Polar H7, i.e. no auto-connect, no connect. Have to run through the complete manual search for devices and then connect.
What happened? I remember when BLE support was first introduced to run.gps this did auto-connect. As I said, Strava auto-connects each and every time. Except, interestingly, when run.gps has 'grabbed' the H7 for itself. I have been able to share the H7 between Strava and other apps. So why is run.gps not able to share and not able to auto-connect/connect?
I need to get a new speed BLE speed/cadence sensor. (I still have the Polar H7 HRM).
What is the (currently) recommended BLE speed/cadence sensor? I did like the aesthetics of my old Panobike speed/cadence sensor, but like many others, ran in to connectivity problems. Perhaps with new versions of Android (I am updating my S3 to 4.4.4 as I type.... praying ;)) and Run.gps (I will update to 3.04, as I am still on 2.8.4!) I hope it is better?
Thanks
(n.b. Strava Android app auto-connects first time, every time with Polar H7)
